Hello,
i hope someone will clear me on this one.
1. I never saw what is the difference between "Project References" and "J2EE Module Dependencies".
To me they seem to do the same thing.
In fact what is "Project References" for? What is the subtle feature it covers that "Java Build Path/Projects", "Order and Export " or "J2EE Module Dependencies" do not cover?
2. Also, for a standard Java project, is there a difference between adding another Java project in "Project References" or adding it to "Java Build Path / Projects"?
These also seem the identical to me. What is the subtle difference?
Thanks a lot.

As I said in the other post, projects selected in J2EE Module
Dependencies are aslo deployed as JARs in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the
dependent project.
If you select a JAR there, it will also be copied to WEB-INF/lib of the
dependent project.
I've never used "Project References" (see below).

If think there's no difference for Java Projects. I think "Project
References" are generic dependencies among projects. For Java Projects
in particular, dependencies are usually meant to be build path
dependencies, so the more specific way to add such a dependency is
through "Java Build Path | Projects".
It may be that, for other kinds of projects that do not refer to Java,
the "Project References" were a way to estabilish a relationship between
projects.
Mauro.
